Linux Mint Unveils New 'Mintbox Mini Pro' Desktop (linuxmint.com)
It's been 18 months since the original Mintbox Mini launched, and this week saw the release of the new Mintbox Mini Pro (which costs just $100 more). BrianFagioli quotes BetaNews:
That extra money gets you a faster processor, more powerful graphics, double the storage, twice the RAM, improved Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and an additional Ethernet port... This diminutive desktop is the same size as the previously-released Mintbox... Thankfully, it retains the same cute appearance and Linux Mint branding.
Their article calls it a "beautiful little computer that comes pre-loaded with Linux Mint 18 Cinnamon (64-bit)," and the Linux Mint blog promises this fanless device offers "better passive cooling thanks to an all-metal black housing" -- and comes with six different USB ports.

Why so expensive?
Can you find a comparative one cheaper? Link, please.
"Transparent" is a shit show that trades on every stereotype going. A man in drag is NOT a transsexual.
It seems a bit pricey at first but, you're getting a nice 4 core CPU, a pretty remarkable 8GB of RAM, a sizable SSD, a decent GPU, dual gigabit ethernet, etc. I imagine this would work well as a desktop or as a media player. It would be interesting to see this benchmarked next to a NUC configured to be in the same price range.
